§ SIR EARDLEY WILMOTasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether the new Medical Regulations for the Re-serve Forces, promised in 1874 and 1875, have yet been issued, and whether under them it is proposed to retain the services of the Militia Surgeons; and, if so, upon what terms; and, what compensation is to be granted to those Surgeons of Militia who, although in good health and able to discharge all duties required of them, have received notice to resign their commissions under Part 15, Clause 9, Militia Regulations, dated the 28th day of May 1872.
MR. GATHORNE HARDY, in reply, said, the Regulations had not yet been issued by the War Office, but would be very shortly. It was proposed to retain the services of the Militia surgeons under conditions which would be published. As to the last part of the Question, no surgeons of Militia in good health and able to discharge all duties required of them had received notice to resign their commissions under the circular referred to.
